ONTONAGON, MI— A barn was destroyed by fire in Ontonagon Saturday night.

Around 9:30 p.m., the Ontonagon Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene and found a 24x24-foot structure fully engulfed.

Crews were on the scene for almost 3.5 hours, extinguishing the flames and putting out hotspots under the metal roof.

Officials say Engine 18, Tanker 17, Rescue 1, the wildland truck, and the equipment van all responded to put out the fire.

No injuries were reported.
